In today’s video, I dive deep into why IGF-1 level testing isn’t always the best marker for optimizing growth hormone. While it’s a useful tool, it doesn’t tell the full story when it comes to HGH or peptide supplementation. Instead, I’ll break down why IGF-1 levels can be misleading, what factors actually impact IGF-1 production, and a better way to assess if you need HGH or growth hormone peptides.⚡ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro: Why IGF-1 testing doesn’t really matter1:05 - How people use IGF-1 to assess growth hormone deficiency2:45 - The major flaw in using IGF-1 as a primary growth hormone marker4:00 - Why IGF-1 levels don’t always increase with HGH or peptides5:20 - Understanding receptor sensitivity & why age matters6:45 - The role of nutrition, stress, and inflammation in IGF-1 conversion8:30 - Why IGF-1 blood test results are highly variable10:10 - The problem with comparing IGF-1 to testosterone levels12:00 - How symptoms matter more than bloodwork for HGH supplementation14:15 - The real signs that you may need growth hormone peptides16:50 - IGF-1 & immune system health: Does HGH cause cancer?18:30 - The best approach to assessing HGH peptide effectiveness20:00 - The real reason you should optimize IGF-1 (and how to do it right)21:00 - Final thoughts: Should you track IGF-1 levels or not?💬 Let me know in the comments: Do you agree or disagree with my take on IGF-1 testing?
